PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (Feb. 12, 2014) – The Plattsburgh Housing Authority invites the residents of City of Plattsburgh to join them for the kick-off of the "I'm a Ted Kid" campaign. The launch will take place Tuesday, Feb. 18, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Ted K. Center located at 8 Tyrell Ave.

"The Ted K Center has been a little-known gem of the Housing Authority for years,” said Housing Authority Board Commissioner Alice Heckard. “It is the hope of the board and the executive director to gain support for its many activities from the very giving people in the community. Together we want to help children not only have fun but grow in their experiences and everyday life while living here."

During the fall 2013 semester, public relations students at SUNY Plattsburgh took on the Plattsburgh Housing Authority as a client, creating a campaign designed to promote the Ted K. Center. The "I'm a Ted Kid" campaign features a poster series of six "Ted Kids,” a 60-second informational video and branding for the center including a logo and a tagline.
